The Directory Sync Schedule Page

Ivanti Endpoint Security can incorporate your Active Directory users and group into product functions. To use this functionality, you must synchronize you server with Active Directory, which you can do from the Directory Sync Schedule page.

To open the Directory Sync Schedule page:

1. From the Navigation Menu, select Tools > Directory Sync Schedule.
   Synchronizing your server with your Active Directory (AD) compiles a list of network domains, users, and user groups that you can use in the Web console. You can then use these AD objects with product features without accessing the active directory itself.

Note:

• To enable active directory synchronization, open port TCP port 389 on your Ivanti Endpoint Security server and your domain controller, and then complete an active directory synchronization.
• Directory Syncs do not modify Active Directory itself. Your server simply requests information from AD.

About Active Directory Synchronization

You can synchronize Ivanti Endpoint Security with your network Active Directories. Objects found in your Active Directory can then be used to execute module features.

Active Directory synchronizations with your server are scheduled by Directory Syncs, which are scans that query your Active Directory for:

• Users
• Computers
• Groups
• Contact Data
• Organizational Units
• Other Information

These objects can then be used by Ivanti Endpoint Security for executing different module features, including:

• Mobile Device Management: Registration Invitations
• Application Control: Assigning Policies
• Device Control: Assigning Policies

Directory Syncs are created from the Directory Sync Schedule page. When creating a Directory Sync, you define the AD you want to sync, as well as the sync schedule. Sync can be scheduled by each of the following units at a specific time:

• Day
• Week
• Month

You can also launch syncs immediately at any time.

After the sync completes, its results appear in the Directory Sync Schedule page list. To view sync results, expand it by clicking its rotating chevron (>).
